Skaters will be able to get into the festive spirit as they glide around a Christmas-themed National Ice Centre.

Surrounded by twinkling lights and a majestic tree, and with free skating for toddlers under the age of five, ice skating at the National Ice Centre this December is a Christmas tradition for the whole family, say organisers.

Recent changes to the ice schedule means that from Monday, December 4, there will be the chance to skate for longer with extended skating sessions on offer.

Plus, a new dedicated area in the centre of the rink will enable pre-schoolers to take their first ice steps with their parents surrounded by fun skating equipment to help them make the most of it.
